Show us your semi cascades

[Webos]

I'm working on a semi-cascade at the moment. I've never styled one before and am finding myself not as confident as i am with more common styles. Anyone else styled semi-cascades before? How did you go about it?

Post your photos up here and tell us your semi-cascade stories.

This Chinese elm exposed root tree should qualify as semicascade.

I have some more semis in development - black pines, a trident and a couple of palmatums. As you are finding out, not all turn out to be pleasing. looks easy but the reality is somewhat different.

This is where I'm at with this one..

That looks great Webos. It still has a long way to go, but the structure looks very appealing. Are you able to take some better photos from the proper viewing height if possible?

[Webos]

I'd does Dave H, it was taken on a crap phone camera with no flash at night. I'll try to get a better one taken today

Much better mate, awesome material and good job getting the basic shape and silhouette working well.

Hi Adam,

Love the tree. You look like you have a good grasp of the style. I hope you keep us posted as it develops.

Here is mine. Over the years is been a full cascade with a top but as you can see it has simplified over the years (top and bottom removed).

Regards,

Peter

I have a Gardenia and a white Bougainvillea
Dug the gardenia out from mother in laws garden and potted up, and the bougy can from a cutting from a neighbour of Mum.

also have a piece of my large Azalea as a Semi cascade.

another is a little PJ fig in a 1/2 moon pot.

dunno if i have any more scattered around

I don't have any cascades but immediately thought of this tree, I believe it is a bonsai Mirai tree.

Good to see that you have put those jin techniques to good use!

Which tree is that Scott?

[Scott Roxburgh]

It's a little different but I'd go down that route.
